very true, not expensive yet effective...really a night and day difference with azenis on my car. I never want to race without them now. Once your used to them you wont want to go back to regular tread. When i would really get on the gas low rpm, it just grabs so good throughout the gear

i love my azenis,

just to give you an idea, it was raining and i went to a parking lot to do doughnuts, well i couldnt ever do any because i couldnt lose traction, id pull the ebrake and try to slide and maybe slide 2 feet.


However, they do suck in the snow/ ice

I have them on my stock Si rims and they are cool. As long as you don't have that much negative camber they will last longer. My car has been lowered a little more than 2 weeks and the insides are almost bald allready. I should have gotten a camber kit at the same time I lowered mine......

you should have gotten an alignment and fixed the tow..

i was able to run almost 2k miles on my azenis before i could see any visible "camber" wear.. racing and road driving.. to give you an example of how much camber i have, i have -2.75 in front, and -1.8 in the back..

as for the tires being able to handle daily driving, they should be good for about 10-15k miles.. but don't expect much rain handling when they begin to wear. light rain is ok.. puddles, not very nice..

oh yeah.. check out vulcantires.com... they may be the less, but they charge shipping.. so it ends out to be the same.. and they are falkens east coast distributor i believe..

They are street tires, so not race only.

Yes I should have, I actually just did the alignment, only one side had toe out, the other side was fine.....but I have -3.5 degrees camber so the tires are pretty much toast anyways.....oh well, I only paid 39 bucks each for the tires, so its not a big deal to me..

You should have gotten an education and fixed that spelling

I got the same size azeni's from the same site...$200 flat shipped to my door, I have them on the stock rims right now, and a set on the slippies. Great tires. And they'll last a lot longer than 2 weeks...mine lasted over a year by far.

edit: actually probably 2 years.

this is the first full set of tires i have ever purchased, and i have never driven on a decent set of 14's. i was a little weary of a 60 sidewall, but all the reviews i have seen sound good, so i am excited to see them on my car!
